dd/mm/yyyy format date validation in yii2

Question

I would like to validate date field to accept only (dd/mm/yyyy) format, for example

(14/11/1993)

In addition if the month is February it should not accept day 30 and 31. Please help any one, I've already tried with the pattern below but it's not working in Yii 2. It shows error in RegularExpressionValidator.php

[
    ['dateofbirth'], 
    'match', 
    'pattern' => '/^((([1-2][0-9])|([1-9]))/([2])/[0-9]{4})|((([1-2][0-9])|([1-9])|(3[0-1]))/((1[0-2])|([3-9])|([1]))/[0-9]{4})$/', 
    'message' =>'Invalid date'
],

you want to put validation through rules in model right? – Jigar7521 Dec 08 '16 at 06:31 — Jigar7521, Dec 08 '16 at 06:31

public function rules()
{
    return [
        ['dateofbirth', 'date', 'format' => 'dd/MM/yyyy'],
    ];
}

Another way was taken from this answer.

public function rules()
{
    return [
        ['dateofbirth', 'validateDateOfBirth'],
    ];
}

public function validateDateOfBirth($attribute)
{
    $dateTime = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y', $this->$attribute);
    $errors = DateTime::getLastErrors();
    if (!empty($errors['warning_count'])) {
        $this->addError($attribute, 'Invalid date');
    }
}

try

(/^((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(/)(0[13578]|1[02]))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9])(/)(02))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[0])(/)(0[469]|11))(/)\d{4}$/)

or

(^((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])(/)(0[13578]|1[02]))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9])(/)(02))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[0])(/)(0[469]|11))(/)\d{4}$)

i change your regex like that it's working /^((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])\/(0[13578]|1[02]))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9])\/(02))|((0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[0])\/(0[469]|11))\/\d{4}$/ – praba Dec 08 '16 at 08:01

That one worked for me fine

public function rules()
{
    return [
        ['dateofbirth', 'date', 'format' => 'php:Y-m-d'];
    ];
}

Here is more info on that YII2 DateValidator docs
